Hartlepool (borough)
Hartlepool is a
local government district and
borough in
North East England. In 2003 it had a resident
population of 90,161. It borders
County Durham to the north,
Stockton-on-Tees to the west and
Redcar and Cleveland to the south along the line of the
River Tees. It is centred around the town of
Hartlepool and forms part of the
Tees Valley area.
The district was formed on
April 1,
1974, by a the merger of previous
municipal borough of Hartlepool, along with the parishes of
Brierton,
Claxton,
Dalton Piercy,
Elwick,
Elwick Hall,
Greatham,
Hart and
Newton Bewley, from the
Stockton Rural District, all of which had been part of the
administrative county of
Durham, and became one of the four districts of the new non-metropolitan county of
Cleveland.
Cleveland was abolished in 1996, with the four boroughs of Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool, Redcar & Cleveland and
Middlesbrough becoming
unitary authorities. For ceremonial purposes Hartlepool returned to
County Durham, however it continues to share certain local services with the other former Cleveland boroughs, including
police,
Fire and Rescue and
Ambulance services.
It is made up of 17 council wards and is covered by the
Hartlepool parliamentary constituency.
